More quotes by Wladimir Klitschko
Earlier in my career, I never thought of boxing as a chess game, but I confirm that they are, in fact, very similar. You can plan your fights and strategy just like you would in chess.

My height is an advantage, if I want to use it.

I think we have tremendous media covering the sport of boxing, even if boxing is a little bit lost in popularity with MMA sports. And I think that with the show 'Lights Out' it's going to get more attention to the sport, and it's going to put more attention to the problems that athletes in general have.
Wladimir Klitschko
There is no money in this world that will make us fight.
Wladimir Klitschko
It is incredibly difficult to adjust to such a little fighter. Mormeck is similar to Mike Tyson, he is just a little still faster.
Wladimir Klitschko
I'm going to give him a pizza face.

You can train your mental strength just like you train your body. If your body looks fit or ripped, it looks strong, and you can flex your muscles. So, physically, you have a certain strength. Mentally, it's the same thing. You can train your psychological strength.

Defeat will help you. I've been there and done that. I shook it off and came back stronger. It's nothing to be scared about.

All the champions - you go and ask Mike Tyson or Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Lennox Lewis and myself included, and I'm sorry for putting myself in line with all the other great names - but the champion's attitude is it doesn't matter who is in front of me, I am going to conquer this person and win the fight and knock the person out.
Wladimir Klitschko
I run, but boxing conditioning is different, so you have to get used to running in the ring. Boxing movements are very different. Swimming is one of the best because every single muscle is working. I swim a lot. I train very hard at things that mimic boxing. I have to do mostly sport-specific training, such as lots of sparring.
Wladimir Klitschko
I'm boring but effective.
Wladimir Klitschko
He's been an inspiration for me since the Olympics 1996.
Wladimir Klitschko
I respect the IBF obligation to fight Povetkin, but I would like the exception to fight David Haye. That is the only title the Klitschkos don't have. We have them all except the WBA, which is why Haye is such an interesting cookie for me to eat.
Wladimir Klitschko
After Chernobyl, thousands and thousands of people, if not millions, were given a death penalty and had to pay the price, our father among them.
Wladimir Klitschko
When people are tipsy, they're really encouraged and they wanna prove they can do something to the Heavyweight champion.
Wladimir Klitschko
That's the most terrible mistake you can make: to relax. It's difficult to become a champion, but it's more difficult to maintain it for many years because you're getting too comfortable.

Who's gonna win between two brothers? The Klitschko mother's gonna win because she said it won't happen.
Wladimir Klitschko
My brother is a doctor and he will take care of post-traumatic stress. I think he'll do it for free.
Wladimir Klitschko
I think that boxing is actually not as dangerous as the politics. In boxing, you're gonna get a bloody nose or a black eye. In politics you can obviously get either dioxin in the food or bullet in the head.
Wladimir Klitschko
There are 49 guys that got bored to sleep on my record, so they got knocked out by it.
